When you request that a package is installed, and as a result other packages are installed to satisfy its dependencies, the dependencies are marked as being automatically installed, while the package you installed explicitly is marked as manually installed\&. Once an automatically installed package is no longer depended on by any manually installed package it is considered no longer needed and e\&.g\&.
